Smut, life, spring-cleaning, thoughts on cleaning, more fandom stuff... = Life.
Gotta say, doing these smut-challenges works out very well. :-) I check what the next challenge is, and then I walk around and think on it during the day when taking care of Alexandra and just every day stuff... The thought matures and then during the evening/night I write it down quite quickly. I am having fun! Who thought writing would be fun for me, eh? At least with these I don't have to bother with plots. I suck at plots. I really really do. :-P
Apart from that, life just... moves on really. We've gotten sick (again) me, Alexandra and peting73. Not so badly this time, but annoying none the less. We've ended up with a really sucky cold all three of us. Coughing, sniffling the works. Alexandra even had a fewer one day. :-P Us two adults didn't have that, but... Yeah. peting73 sounds like he's been living on whiskey and cigars for his whole life... What a voice the man got over night! o.O Me I am sneezing constantly with a drippy nose. FUN TIMES! Alexandra both coughs and sneezes. And HATE it when I try helping her with her nose using the nasal aspirator NoseFrida. It is very VERY effective and sure helps her so she breaths more freely, but when I use it she screams bloody murder, and I feel like a horrible mom. :-P I hope I'll be forgiven once she is old enough to actually blow her nose herself...
This whole thing has kept us home though. No sing-a-longs at the library, no Open Preschool and no Baby Swimming class. Which is both good and bad. I mean, it is a bit boring for Alexandra perhaps to not be around other kids. She seems happy enough though talking to her toys... AND! Good part! I've managed to spring clean the ENTIRE apartment! o.O And that includes cleaning ALL THE WINDOWS! I am just... shocked.
Now, I hate cleaning with a passion, but lately I've started to follow the emails and reading on the website FlyLady... Now, the website might look a wee bit silly and all, but much of what it says there is making sense. I know I've been one of those that wants everything "perfect" because mom did it just so, then I have to as well, dammit! And then I can't make it and then I start to think stupid things about myself and my cleaning abilities. :-P But reading the daily emails really start to make a dent in my thinking. I don't have to be perfect. I don't have to be my mom when cleaning. Doing it differently is not a bad thing. Etc, etc... And you know? When I did my spring-cleaning this time it went SO MUCH FASTER then usual! Mostly because I changed my way of thinking. I am kinda surprised.
The only bad thing with that site and their emails is all the God this and God that, bless this and bless that, pray for this and pray for that and such things... I am an atheist, so that just don't mean anything to me really... and what about those of other fates? *grump* Anyway, I just skip all the religious parts in the emails and on the site, and focus on the good stuff. Which there is a lot of to. :-)
So cleaning is slowly, ever so slowly turning into less of a guilty negative thing for me and slowly, slowly turning into something close to fun. Who'd have thought?
Back to fandom stuff.
Can we all just take a deep sigh of RELIEF that there is no more Musical March Madness? I mean, OMG the drama and the fail and the negativity and I don't even know what... *head-desk*
I mean, sure... I didn't vote that much (OMG! BAD FAN MOMENT!), and yeah... To bad we didn't get to the final, but really... I would be just as happy if Tokio Hotel never ever ended up in that stupid competition again.
I'll just sit here and focus on the good part in the fandom instead. Like the G's actually showing them selfs on Twitter and on Facebook (GUSTAV! YOU ARE GLORIOUS! AND GEORG! YOU NEED A MUSCLE-CAR NOW TO MATCH YOUR HAIR!) and the twins being silly and almost as awesome on that silly DSDS show. :-) It is good to be a TH fan these days. (At least most of the time...)
Also, I need update a shitload of photos to Alexandras LJ one of these days... not to mention getting a photo of our tattoos, dammit. It is way overdue. :-P
Over and out!
